MITIGATING RISK IN THE CLOUD – NEGOTIATING THE PROVISIONS REQUIRED IN EVERY SAAS & CLOUD DEAL

Large enterprises and even the Global 100 are becoming increasingly comfortable with SaaS & cloud solutions. However, SaaS and cloud deals raise many complex legal issues that need to be thoroughly negotiated and documented in agreements. In this session Mark Grossman, an accomplished technology lawyer, spoke to the unique customs, usages, and norms of SaaS & cloud deals, and the particular provisions that are critical to agreements in this area. The discussion will include issues common to SaaS & cloud agreements including intellectual property, warranties, and limitations of liability.

Points Mark covered included:

Key provisions that should be included in every SaaS & cloud contract

How limitation of liability clauses can emasculate SaaS & cloud agreements

How do protect your data in the cloud

How intellectual property provisions in SaaS & cloud agreements can be a trap for the unwary

Strategies to keep your SaaS & cloud agreements out of court

Negotiating SaaS & cloud agreements that communicate the deal in clear, simple and unambiguous terms, reducing risk to your enterprise
